	Arthur Honegger
		Arthur Honegger (March 10, 1892 - November 27, 1955) was a composer, born to Swiss parents, but more closely associated with France.
		Honegger had always remained in touch with his native Switzerland, but with the outbreak of the war and the invasion of the Nazis, he found himself trapped in Paris.
		Although Honegger was a member of Les Six, his work does not typically share the playfulness and simplicity of the other members of that group.

	Biographie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The life of Arthur Honegger, on the face of it, seems to have been fairly calm and straightforward: he lived in Paris, studied at the Conservatoire, travelled as his career required it, lived comfortably from his work, and had a private life free from scandal...
		Yes, Arthur Honegger is a complex individual, impossible to label, but whose music, nevertheless, is immediately recognisable: the work of a craftsman in his trade, who federates the diversity of his talents with an artistic personality that is both strong and powerful.
		Arthur Honegger was born on the 10th of March, 1892, in Le Havre; he maintained his Swiss nationality all his life, as his parents were Helvetian and protestants; his father settled in Le Havre where he traded in coffee.

		The Swiss born composer, Arthur Honegger, was for a time associated with the group of Paris composers known as Les Six (with Poulenc, Milhaud, Auric, Durey and Tailleferre).
		Honegger was a prolific composer in many genres, writing for the theatre and concert hall, as well as for the cinema.
		Honegger's stage oratorio Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher (Joan of Arc at the Stake), completed in 1935, using a text by Paul Claudel, is an equally moving work, powerful in its use of the human voice, whether in speech or song.

	Arthur Honegger (1892-1955)
		Honegger is another important member of the team of 'Six' ("Les Six") that acted in France mainly during the interwar.
		Honegger's fame for composer of such impressive and original works as "Pacific 231" (in which the orchestra is simulating the sound of locomotive !) is rather misleading.
		Honegger uses counterpoint in a standard basis, but, his overall sound is not characterized by any particular originality neither in the form nor in the final content and satisfied more those who wanted and also longed the old romanticism of classic epoch, along with its passion and its greatness.

		Honegger was born of Swiss parents in La Havre, France.
		Honegger's reputation was firmly established by such works as Pacific 231, an orchestral portrait of a steam locomotive (1923) and the oratorio Le Roi David (1923), which pays homage to the works of Handel.
		The harmonies are often dense, the rhythms muscular, and the orchestrations reminiscent of Mahler and Berlioz, rather that the light, facile style cultivated by many of his contemporaries.

		Bio: A Swiss composer of operas, chamber music, and orchestral music who was influenced in his early work by the impressionists and Stravinski's modernism.
		Honegger used a personal style in his main work that is densely bitonal, classically polyphonic, and emotionally austere.
		This is especially apparent in the beautiful Symphony for String Orchestra no. 2, with a mysteriously emerging trumpet solo in the last movement -- a work written in occupied Paris of WWII.

		Among "Les Six", a group of provocative young composers thriving in the ebullient Paris of the 1920's, Honegger (1892 -1955) was the one who achieved the widest fame and actually entered the international concert circuit.
		After Honegger's death, though things began to change and now it's the once-ridiculed Poulenc that enjoys a far wider notoriety, thanks to the warmth of his music and its genuine intimate quality.
		This one is also a splendid work, with a prevailing note of pessimism, both personal (Honegger just had a stroke) and general (he didn' like the direction music was taking, maybe he foresaw his own fate).

		Arthur Honegger was born in 1892, in France, to Swiss parents.
		Honegger is best known as a member of "Les Six", a group of six French composers who grouped themselves together during the 1920s and followed the aesthetic of film-maker Jean Cocteau.
		However, he was always the most peripheral member, and he was perhaps the only one who rejected the doctrine that “smaller is better” and embraced more expansive forms.

		Halbreich chronicles the life of Honegger and ends with an annotated catalogue of works by the composer of the noted modern oratorios Jeanne darc au bricher and Le roi David, as well as popular symphonic pieces such as the railway-inspired Pacific 231.
		A musical traditionalist whose compositions possessed drama and sometimes righteous rage, Honegger also wrote a number of lesser-known works of high interest, from symphonies to chamber music-and Halbreich performs an invaluable service by drawing attention to these many hidden treasures.
		Halbreich's only flaw is that he's far too forgiving of Honegger's role in wartime Paris, where the composer wrote for Nazi sponsored magazines-an action that even Honegger's friends and most later writers criticized.
